East Garfield Park permit value jumps to $7.9M
East Garfield Park pulled 22 permits in August, down from 33 the month before, but their total value shot up nearly fivefold to $7.9 million. Eleven of those were express permits, the fast-track paperwork the city uses for smaller jobs. Six more covered renovations or alterations. Two demolition permits and two new-construction permits rounded out the month. No new business licenses were issued, and the neighborhood reported zero service requests—a data artifact that suggests incomplete feeds rather than a sudden outbreak of civic perfection.
